四甲尿酸（Theacrine）全名是1,3,7,9-四甲基尿酸，是由古布阿蘇（英语：Cupuaçu）及茶树葉子上提煉的生物鹼^[1]^[2]。四甲尿酸有抗炎性及镇痛的效果，其結構類似咖啡因，也會以類似的方式影響腺苷的信号^[2]^[3]。一般認為在茶葉上，四甲尿酸是由三步驟的路徑，由咖啡因所合成^[2]。

結構類似咖啡因

四甲尿酸很類似咖啡因，差異只有一個酮基，以及在9-碳上的甲基基團。

安全性

临床实验显示，健康人类可以每日安全服用 300 mg 四甲尿酸持续 8 周，且不会产生习惯。^[4]实验中未发现四甲尿酸具有咖啡因等其他兴奋剂的快速耐受现象。^[4]

在动物实验中，四甲尿酸的LD₅₀为 810 mg/kg，^[5]^[4]高于咖啡因的 265 mg/kg。^[6]

• These findings support the clinical safety and non-habituating neuro-energetic effects of TeaCrine® supplementation over 8 weeks of daily use (up to 300 mg/day).
